Separate from the bond proceeding, the Mirmehdis’ removal proceedings moved forward on a parallel track. All four brothers were denied asylum but granted withholding of removal by immigration judges (“IJ”). Mohammad-Reza Mirmehdi and Mohsen Mirmehdi appealed the denial of asylum to the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”). Mostafa Mirmehdi and Mojtaba Mirmehdi did not appeal their asylum decisions.
